A Young Man's First Boat Project

I'll have to look into those GI Mats for use in my ice fishing shacks. I currently have some foam I throw down in front of the seats to keep the feet warm but I wonder if this wouldn't be better.

I was thinking the same for ice fishing, especially for the dog to sit on. The ones I found online look thinner than in Eric's photos, his appear to be an inch+....or are they doubled over?

Enthusiasm, passion, and hard work got it done.

Looks very good, and congratulations.

Nothing better than young folks carrying on our Life Style.

Two thumbs way up!


Best regards

They are 3/8" to 1/2" thick. Must just be the way the camera makes them look.

Thanks, then I believe those are what I found online. They look great in the boat, I wouldn't have thought they could be cut/finished so well without your photos.

Can you share the link please? Didn't intend to hijack the thread - sorry.
